The great thing about Bulwell is always bumping into people you know & some people you don't know will still nod & say "ayup" when passing.

The compilation of those photographs of Sankeys brought back memories of my first employment. Do you know when the fire occurred and how extensive it was?

Thanks for posting that Rog.

Years ago i was seeing a girl from Kimberley..fit..but in the other sense- she was bench pressing before Goulds Gym had even heard of it.I had to cycle to the Adelaide from Grindon..stopping off at 2 pubs on the way...which never went down well!.no one pinched me battered old Dawes bike even outside the boozer on Hoewood Rd.Was there a BMX track near Sankeys? Anyroad...i gave her the road after a night in the 3

I used  to visit Sankey's regularly to supply parts for their plastic moulding shop. Remember one day I asked if they would donate a few plant pots to the Home Farm Trust - my boss was a govenor there. Before I knew it my Cortina was filled with boxes of plastic plant pots. Had to drive around in what was a virtual two seater for a week before able to deliver them to HQ in high Wycombe.

I remember Pascoe's in Bulwell. Left hand side just, just past the market going towards the now Wetherspoons. Double windowed shop, they used to put a list in the window of their bad customers who owed money.
